Furthermore, it oversees the harmonization of national legislation with international and European law, defends and promotes human rights, and fosters transparency through the design and implementation of policies that strengthen justice, combat crime, and safeguard equality and equal treatment for all citizens.<\/p><p>Between 2020 and 2023, the Ministry of Justice, in cooperation with other stakeholders, implemented the <strong>National Action Plan Against Racism and Intolerance.<\/strong> This Plan was funded by the European Union under the initiative \u201cDeveloping a comprehensive strategy against racism, intolerance and hate crime\u201d within the \u201cRights, Equality and Citizenship Programme\u201d, and provides a comprehensive framework to effectively address racism, intolerance, racist violence, and all forms of discrimination in Greece, with the ultimate goal of upholding human rights and fundamental freedoms.<\/p><p><strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/p><p><strong>Key Pillars and Objectives of the Action Plan:<\/strong><\/p><p>The National Action Plan focused on critical areas such as:<\/p><ul><li><strong>Combating racist crimes:<\/strong> Enhancing the reporting and recording of incidents, while providing specialized training to prosecutors and law enforcement officials on issues of racist violence and hate motives.<\/li><\/ul><p>\u00a0<\/p><ul><li><strong>Prevention and awareness: <\/strong>Promoting systematic public awareness campaigns on various forms of discrimination, stereotypes, and prejudice.

This project aims to combat antisemitic crimes in Greece and Europe through a comprehensive criminal justice and victim support framework, with full respect for human rights.<\/p><p>The EXODUS project is developing practical tools to support frontline professionals in identifying and effectively responding to antisemitic crimes. Participation in such initiatives enhances the efforts of the National Action Plan by creating synergies and drawing on European practices to build a fairer and more inclusive society, free from racial, religious, ethnic, and all forms of discrimination.<\/p><p>The National Action Plan and the participation in projects, like EXODUS, serve as important tools in building a more cohesive, tolerant, and safe society in Greece, where respect for diversity and zero tolerance for any form of intolerance, including <strong>antisemitism<\/strong>, are core values and cornerstones of our democracy.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-53a44e3 e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"53a44e3\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-settings=\"{&quot;background_background&quot;:&quot;classic&quot;,&quot;animation&quot;:&quot;none&quot;}\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-e171b7a elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"e171b7a\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>Download the newsletter below<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-2fcf0b3 elementor-view-stacked elementor-shape-circle elementor-widget elementor-widget-icon\" data-id=\"2fcf0b3\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"icon.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-icon-wrapper\">\n\t\t\t<a class=\"elementor-icon\" href=\"https:\/\/exodus-project.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/EXODUS-Newsletter3_EN.pdf\" target=\"_blank\">\n\t\t\t<svg aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"e-font-icon-svg e-far-file-pdf\" viewBox=\"0 0 384 512\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\"><path d=\"M369.9 97.9L286 14C277 5 264.8-.1 252.1-.1H48C21.5 0 0 21.5 0 48v416c0 26.5 21.5 48 48 48h288c26.5 0 48-21.5 48-48V131.9c0-12.7-5.1-25-14.1-34zM332.1 128H256V51.9l76.1 76.1zM48 464V48h160v104c0 13.3 10.7 24 24 24h104v288H48zm250.2-143.7c-12.2-12-47-8.7-64.4-6.5-17.2-10.5-28.7-25-36.8-46.3 3.9-16.1 10.1-40.6 5.4-56-4.2-26.2-37.8-23.6-42.6-5.9-4.4 16.1-.4 38.5 7 67.1-10 23.9-24.9 56-35.4 74.4-20 10.3-47 26.2-51 46.2-3.3 15.8 26 55.2 76.1-31.2 22.4-7.4 46.8-16.5 68.4-20.1 18.9 10.2 41 17 55.8 17 25.5 0 28-28.2 17.5-38.7zm-198.1 77.8c5.1-13.7 24.5-29.5 30.4-35-19 30.3-30.4 35.7-30.4 35zm81.6-190.6c7.4 0 6.7 32.1 1.8 40.8-4.4-13.9-4.3-40.8-1.8-40.8zm-24.4 136.6c9.7-16.9 18-37 24.7-54.7 8.3 15.1 18.9 27.2 30.1 35.5-20.8 4.3-38.9 13.1-54.8 19.2zm131.6-5s-5 6-37.3-7.8c35.1-2.6 40.9 5.4 37.3 7.8z\"><\/path><\/svg>\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Exodus Newsletter #3 Exodus Newsletter #3 \u00a0 National Action Plan Against Racism and Intolerance (2020\u20132023): The Ministry of Justice at the forefront for a discrimination-free Greece and its participation in the EXODUS Project The Ministry of Justice of the Hellenic Republic, a fundamental pillar of the rule of law with a history dating back to [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[28],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1848","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-newsletter"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/exodus-project.eu\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1848","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/exodus-project.eu\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/exodus-project.eu\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/exodus-project.eu\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/exodus-project.eu\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=1848"}],"version-history":[{"count":7,"href":"https:\/\/exodus-project.eu\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1848\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1867,"href":"https:\/\/exodus-project.eu\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1848\/revisions\/1867"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/exodus-project.eu\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=1848"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/exodus-project.eu\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=1848"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/exodus-project.eu\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=1848"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
